    It astounds me that BRP are still “improving” the Go app. I would have thought that would have stopped once they came out with the new ACP console. (The new, less than perfect, ACP...

    Only the first year S2S model came with luggage, fatboy. BRP very quickly dropped that “wasted profit" - now there’s a surprise. :roflblack:

    ……and just something to keep in the back of your mind, Sam; Kuhmo tyres are a bit hit and miss in the US. Many riders have reported that they don’t grip well. However, out here in Oz, they work very...

    As Ron said earlier, we are all different. I found I had to install heel/toe shifters on all my bikes, because a size 15 riding boot is pretty tall at the front and had trouble getting under the toe...

    Consider Kromm and Tango’s words, Shadowmoose. Do it once and do it right. Buy a custom built seat from Seth Laam or Daylong. They guarantee the seat will give you all day comfort, and will adjust...

    It just picks up where you left off, as if nothing had happened, when you accidentally flick it off and then back on when travelling, Longtimer. The problem is, you often don’t know you have...

    EKB2, BRP don’t “warn” about doing this, they state in their workshop manual, DO NOT do this. That’s enough for me to think - ok, I don’t want them to have an issue with warranty (or other) claims,...

    Yep, but that doesn’t solve the issue of how to orient the rear tyre when FOBO says it needs air, Two2. Like many others above, I turn the ignition on, release the brake (after making sure I’m not...

    Yes, although most decent bits of gear these days perform both tasks, Ron. Mine does a bulk charge to bring the battery back to full charge, then moves to a trickle/maintenance charge to hold it...

    Yeah, I’m not denigrating the VRod, Webs…..it’s a great bike. It wouldn’t have mattered WHAT this guy rode ;):roflblack:

    Reminds me of a “mate” we used to ride with who had a VRod, Cobwebs. He always ended up as Tail-end Charlie, not because he specifically wanted to be, but because no one wanted to ride behind him....

    For something like an oil change on a machine like a Spyder, I believe those that would not check the service manual would be a tiny minority, Andy. ;)

    I’m with you on everything but the windshield, Ron;). Riding over 100kph with 6’7” and 300lbs in the “wind”, nearly pulls your arms out of their sockets without a screen. :ohyea:

    So, Lamont is now off the intravenous antibiotics (which Joan administers every 6 hours, an hour a time), and on to oral antibiotics……..but there is always a downside. The fact that his infection is...

    Peter Aawen - Is it worth merging this thread with the other one (Glovebox won’t latch) on the same issue from the OP? There are lots of duplicating answers.

    Nothing came up when you typed in “tire”, fhartel ?! …….odd, to say the least, as there are hundreds of threads showing the many brands and sizes that work on the F3……. but a 185 is not among them….....

    Yeah, I just leave my empty bags in the panniers, K80, and drop anything I need in them. No need for the old cargo nets.

    Believe me, there is indeed a warning in the shop manual about not using the rear shock as a jacking point, EKB2. You could end up with damage if you simply put a bottle jack or similar under the...

    If the S2S is not available when you are ready to go, don’t discount the RT-L, Trikesister. Sure you don’t get the colour matched trunk and a couple of other very minor things, but you get all the...

    Why not simply use the paddle shifters on the left bar to shift manually, Postleg? It would be a cheaper, easier option. (Don’t forget your one and only brake pedal is already on the right)

    It basically boils down to - if you can afford the extra $4k, get the S2S. If you can’t, get the base RT.

    As you said, you then have the option to remove the top box in a couple of minutes if you...

    I believe KW1M was simply confirming Fatboy’s comment, based on discussions with the supplier, Jdr. Sometimes members can get it wrong, so confirmation never hurts ;):thumbup:

    No, the mods won’t do that, Allen. Apart from affecting FB algorithms, there is a lot of useful info in here that someone may be looking for via a search at a later date. It is here to stay.;)

    Oldguy, just by way of update, there is a lot that can be gleaned from FB, and you don’t need to post anything about yourself unless you wish to (I don’t). You can also lock your FB profile, which...

    Yes, unfortunately, Lamont’s first new liver ended up having bile duct issues which, to quote Lamont, “were slowly killing him”. That’s how he ended up in hospital recently with a very, very serious...
